The accurate characterization of the temperature-dependent permittivity of aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramic is quite critical to the application of wireless passive sensors for harsh environments. Since the change of the temperature-dependent permittivity will vary the ceramic-based capacitance, which can be converted into the change of the resonant frequency, an LC resonator, based on AlN cerami...

abstract a great proportion of non-oil export in iran is related to tile and ceramic industry. so because of its main role in job creation, this industry is one of important industries in iran. in the recent years inefficiency in this industry caused an increase in expenses and a decrease in products quality and caused supply surplus crisis and a reduction in sales. therefore in this paper, the...

One of the primary challenges faced by today’s dental restorative team is the need to deliver high-strength restorative options without compromising the esthetic outcome fueled by ever-increasing patient demands. The availability of improved ceramic materials, bonding techniques, new technology and issues of malgam safety have led to a revival of interest in ceramic inlays in dentistry over the...

Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (LTCC) technology has attracted much attention for high frequency applications due to the advantages in preparing 3D circuits within a ceramic block that enables burying of passive elements; resistor, inductor and capacitor (Jantunen et al., 2003). This technology also offers another advantages such as low fabrication cost due to parallel process, utilizing high...

Digital technology makes new possibilities in ceramic craft. This project is about how experiential knowledge that the craftsmen gains in a direct physical and tactile interaction with a responding material can be transformed and utilized in the use of digital technologies. The project presents SoundShaping, a system to create ceramics from the human voice. Based on a generic audio feature extr...

The dental practice is not only about prevention and treatment of oral diseases but also the fulfillment of demands of all who seek oral care, of which esthetics weighs more importance than any. To achieve excellence in the delivery of dental care, dentists rely on the vast array of modern advances in dental materials and restoration fabrication technologies. Need for more esthetical, metal-fre...

For the better part of the past 20 years, dentistry has seen the development of many new all-ceramic materials and restorative techniques fueled by the desire to capture the ever elusive esthetic perfection. This has resulted in the fusion of the latest in material science and the pen ultimate in computer-assisted design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology. This case report des...
